Hi, I have tried it with the grep command in the spec file. Same error as before. After that I have tried it with removing the group and user checks from the spec file. Also the same error. Have you any other hints? Is there a way to get more information where the %pre section failed? Otherwise I will remove the toaster from the system and reinstall it with the new version and hope that this will work. I have two other CentOS-Toaster Systems tested where the update works without errors.

When I check my toaster, there is no *user* qmail or nofiles, so of course the id command fails. This isn't right. The id command can't be used to check if a group exists or not, at least not according to the man page for CentOS4.4. In any case, the -z test would always be true, in which case the groupadd command(s) would always be executed. This isn't right, but it's apparently not harmful. This is confirmed by the: groupadd: group nofiles exists groupadd: group qmail exists messages I now see in my build log. So the group check isn't quite right. It shouldn't be causing your failure though, I wouldn't think. On the other hand, you didn't receive the groupadd errors I see (and you apparently did too in your script), and since that's the first thing done in the %pre process, this leads me to believe that, for whatever reason, this is what's choking on your system. Strange, because I'm running CentOS4.4 too (upgraded from 4.3 though). I any case, let's fix up the tests for the existence of groups, and see if that doesn't work for you. I don't see a command that can be used to check for groups, so let's use grep. In the spec file, we need to change: if [ -z "`/usr/bin/id -g nofiles 2>/dev/null`" ]; then to if [ -z "`grep '^nofiles:.*:2107:' /etc/group`" ]; then and likewise, change if [ -z "`/usr/bin/id -g qmail 2>/dev/null`" ]; then to if [ -z "`grep '^qmail:.*:2108:' /etc/group`" ]; then Be careful with those quotes! ;) Then build yourself another source rpm (rpmbuild -bs), and try again. If you put your modified source rpm in /opt/qtp-sandbox/usr/src/qtp-upgrade/SRPMS/ and remove the binary RPM from /opt/qtp-sandbox/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686/, you can simply rerun qtp-newmodel (w/out rebuilding the sandbox) and it'll pick up the new srpm and rebuild the binary. If you want to rebuild the sandbox, put your new source rpm in /usr/src/qtp-upgrade/SRPMS/. Let us know if this fixes your problem or not. This bug should have a flyspray task for it if it doesn't already. Can you take care of that, Thomas?
